Maintenance challenges in port and logistics operations
Port and logistics equipment such as quay cranes, RTG/RMG cranes, reach stackers, conveyors, and roller systems operate continuously under heavy loads while being exposed to sand, dust, and high humidity.
Despite these conditions, many operators still rely on manual grease guns for bearing lubrication. This approach often results in extended downtime, inconsistent grease volumes, and a high risk of contamination, all of which contribute to premature equipment failure.
As operational efficiency becomes increasingly critical, traditional manual lubrication methods are no longer sufficient.
The solution: Hove Carry portable lubrication system
Hove Carry is a suitcase-designed automatic grease pump developed by Hove A/S (Denmark) for mobile maintenance in heavy industrial, port, and logistics environments.
The system standardizes the lubrication process by controlling pressure, flow rate, and grease volume, reducing dependence on manual operation.
Key technical advantages of Hove Carry
Hove Carry significantly reduces maintenance time by automating grease delivery, enabling up to a 75% reduction in equipment downtime compared to manual lubrication.
The system delivers an exact, pre-programmed grease volume in milliliters, helping prevent bearing damage caused by under- or over-lubrication.
Its closed cartridge design isolates grease from the surrounding environment, effectively preventing contamination by sand, dust, and moisture.
With a working pressure of up to 300 bar, Hove Carry ensures reliable grease delivery through long, narrow lines and into hard-to-reach lubrication points.
The compact suitcase format and simplified operation allow technicians to perform mobile maintenance efficiently across yards and warehouses.
Typical applications in port and logistics facilities
- Container cranes (STS, RTG, RMG)
- Reach stackers and heavy-duty forklifts
- Conveyor and roller systems
- Yard and material-handling equipment
